    Also, your sidebar should really be at the end, after all of the content. Usually just before the footer. This allows the browser to load that code last and also prevents the sidebar from interfering too much with the main content.

    i can’t download “tidy” for some reason, it says the extension isn’t compatible with my version (1.0) yet the website says it is … odd …

    missing a <div id="content">? damn, this is gonna take a while …

    how can i make the sidebar load at the end?

    MtDV, good point. But keep in mind that if that sidebar is floated, it has to come first. I don’t use the WP template so I don’t know if this is the case here.

    I think they just made that extension unavailabe since the security upgrade release. That was a nice tool. For now just use w3’s validator. You’ve got some errors.

    haha more than just “some” … thanks for the modesty though ??

    wow! … <div id="content"> put within “about.php” did the trick (who was the idiot that left that out? :P) , but what about the sidebar.php loading MtDV was talking about? is this necessary or just for “clean-up”?

    Check your css to see if your sidebar says “float:left”. If it does, leave it alone in your html. If it doesn’t, you can move it after your #content and just before your #footer. If it is floated, it has to come first. If you don’t believe it, try it and you’ll see. ??

    BRRRRRRP! Not necessarily so….. if written properly, you CAN float:left your sidebar AND have it come after the content…. I’ve done it…. https://tannagh.com

    But the caveat is that it _has_to_be_written_correctly_ and _must_validate_.

    TG, you demonstrated the point, perfectly. Your #content is floated right. Therefore it can come before or after the floated sidebar. I was referring to a circumstance where only one side was being floated.
